I'll Be Around Lyrics

When I stare into space
I'm looking for you
And I can see you
At times

I'll be around
To pick up your phone
I'll be around

See the kaleidoscope girl
In the doorway
She's looking my way
At times

I'll be around
To pick up your phone
I'll be around

Washing the dirt from your face
I'm looking for you
And I still miss you
At times

I'll be around
To pick up your phone
I'll be around

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

These are incorrect. Below is correct

When I stare into space I'm looking for you And I can see you At times

I'll be around To pick up your phone I'll be around

See the kaleidoscope girl In the doorway She's looking my way At times

I'll be around To pick up your phone I'll be around

Washing the dirt from your face I'm looking for you And I still miss you At times

I'll be around To pick up your phone I'll be around
